Hi, When you submit a job to the cluster, you can control the behavior for blocking / return using JobClient's submitJob, runJob methods. It will also let you know if the job was successful or failed, so you can design your follow up scripts accordingly.

So, what is the best way to do this? Thanks! -- Michael
